Parkers Field Study

 9/29/22 2:50 PM Sunny and Windy  56 Degrees Fahrenheit  Sunrise - 7:54 AM Sunset - 5:12 PM All of the snow that was on the ground since last time has melted. The tall brush weeds have been pretty much pushed down to the ground. The creek had water in it. It wasn't flowing fast, but it was moving along. There are lots of leaves still on the ground, and no leaves on the trees. I couldn't find any tracks, but a few days ago I saw 3 doe deer. A picture is attached. Also almost every night, there are multiple coyotes in the back field that are barking and howling, chasing rabbits in the woods. You can hear the rabbits screech sometimes when they get caught. The grass is more of a sad looking darker green, this happens when it gets colder out. You can tell there has been water running in the creek for a while, because the grasses in the creek are pushed down in the way the water flows. 

 11/15/22 7:45 AM Snow  31  Degrees Fahrenheit  Sunrise - 7:36 AM Sunset - 5:21 PM There was some old snow left on the ground, and some new snow, when I went out this morning. There is basically no leaves left in the trees. The tall grasses are pushed down a bit, and not standing straight up, probably somewhat to do with the snow compressing them, and the cold weather making some of them die and stop growing. It has gotten very cold and there isn't much wildlife activity that I have seen. The creek is flowing water like last time, probably because the little snowfall we had a few days ago is melting. I didn't see any tracks in the snow, which is surprising, because we normally have a bit of wildlife in this area.
